Lyrics
Come on
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads (dirt road)
What Mama and Grandma said
They taught me everything that I know
The voice is ringing in my head
"Boy, you've been running with the devil far too long
You better wake up and turn around"
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads
That's where my faith was found, yeah
Another morning with the light coming through the blinds
I can smell the biscuits in the oven
Daddy working just to pay the bills
Mama making sure there's no empty stomachs
Spraying daily as we headed out
Going off to school with our lunch in hand
Didn't have to worry about a politician
Too young to think about an Uncle Sam
"In God We Trust" is still the motto
Still pledged allegiance to the flag
Prayed your time in every classroom
Turn the tables, let's bring it back
That value system we grew up with
Back then, that's all we had
Look them in the eye with a handshake
And a man's word that was ironclad
In the middle of it all that's faith and family
They've been there without a doubt
No matter what the circumstance
I knew we'd always make it out
In the middle of it all that's faith and family
They've been there without a doubt
No matter what the circumstance
I knew we'd always make it out
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads (dirt roads)
What Mama and Grandma said
They taught me everything that I know
Your voice is ringing in my head
"Boy, you've been running with the devil far too long
You better wake up and turn around"
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads
That's where my faith was found, yeah
We relied on love, we relied on God
Never had a lot of money in the bank
But you would never know it
Cause what really mattered was what we had
And that's everything
Looking back on the situations that we were facing
It really shaped us
Gave me something I carry now
When they helped me overcome the tribulation
Now I know when I walk in faith
Though it was never easy, He never left
Look at the cross when He took the cross
He thought of me when He paid the debt
My Mama prayed, my Daddy worked
My brothers fought, my sister sang
My pastor spoke, my uncle joked
And that's just how we did the thing
There's a whole lot of things we do
'Round here you don't see everywhere you go
We had everything we needed
Never knew that we were poor
We learned every single lesson
To succeed and make us grow
We were holding on to Jesus
Walking down His country roads
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads (dirt roads)
What Mama and Grandma said
They taught me everything that I know (that I know)
The voice is ringing in my head
"Boy, you've been running with the devil far too long
You better wake up and turn around"
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads
That's where my faith was found, yeah
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads (dirt road)
What Mama and Grandma said
They taught me everything that I know
The voice is ringing in my head
"Boy, you've been running with the devil far too long
You better wake up and turn around"
Raised on Jesus and them dirt roads
That's where my faith was found, yeah
Another morning with the light coming through the blinds
